Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Yinreng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Every time this guy stays at the Qianqing Palace, he sleeps on the same bed with Khan Ama. How can that not be considered pillow talk?"

Wanyu stretched out her thumb and index finger, pinched a small piece of soft flesh on his waist, and then made a 360-degree rotation. He grimaced in pain and begged for mercy before he stopped laughing.

"Princess, spare my life!"

"I was wrong in what I said, please forgive me, Princess!"

"I will not say anymore."

"I won't say anything, okay?"

When Wanyu let go with satisfaction, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

"The Crown Princess is becoming more and more fierce."

Only when he saw Wanyu glaring at him with raised eyebrows again did he really stop.

Then he turned his head to look at his son who was tracing the characters carefully not far away, and said to Feng Sheng'e with a smile.

"In a few days, let's go to the Qianqing Palace and spend a few days with you, Khanmafa, okay?"

From the moment Khan Ama asked him to point out the problems between Yinzhi and Yinxiang today, he began to suspect that Khan Ama was wary of the relationship between him and his brothers.

However, Yinreng was not sure why Khan Ama was afraid of him.

Is it because he has the trust of his brothers?

Or is it because his position as crown prince is more secure?

Or maybe Khan Ama started to become suspicious because of Concubine Min's incident and thought about himself.

Do you think they would be as unfilial as Yinzhi was to Concubine Min? They wouldn't even observe the 100-day mourning period?

Yinreng was not sure what Khan Ama was thinking at the moment, and he was now under house arrest.

He could only let Feng Sheng'e go to the Qianqing Palace to relieve the pressure on himself.

Only after he is released from house arrest can he go to Liang Jiugong to inquire.

He believed that he would gain something by then.

The most important thing now is to reduce Khan Ama's fear and suspicion of him.

He planned to tell Feng Sheng'e more stories from the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars during these days.

At this sensitive moment, Feng Sheng'e is more suitable to come forward than him.

That's why this arrangement was made.

Feng Sheng'e raised his head and looked at Yinreng curiously.

"Did Amma make Khan Mafa angry?"

Yinreng said with a smile: "Yes, my father made your Khan Mafa angry, and your Khan Mafa punished him and said he could not leave Yuqing Palace."

"So in a few days, Feng Sheng'e will go to Khanmafa on behalf of Ama to apologize and show filial piety, and spend more time with your Khanmafa, okay?"

The little guy clenched his right fist and hammered it on his chest.

This is the gesture he learned from the Mongolian boys when he went to Mongolia last year.

"Ama was naughty and made Mafa angry, but don't worry, Feng Sheng'e will apologize and speak well of Ama."

"Tell Khanmafa not to be angry with Ama again."

"But Ama, you must be a good boy next time and don't make Khan Mafa angry."

Wanyu kissed her good son’s little face.

"Our Feng Sheng'e is still the most well-behaved and sensible."

"Don't ever be like your father and make your Khan Mafa angry."

Feng Sheng nodded seriously.

"Ok!"

"My son must not only be the Baturu of the Qing Dynasty, but also be a filial Zhongyou!"

Wanyu gave him a thumbs up.

"You are indeed my mother's good baby."

When the little guy heard his mother's praise, he smiled so hard that his teeth showed and his eyes were full of pride.

In the following days, because the princes were punished and confined to their quarters, the court and the harem were relatively quiet.

However, the eldest grandson of the emperor, Prince Hongxi, had a lot of presence in front of Emperor Kangxi in the Qianqing Palace because he remembered many stories from the "Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars".

Even the crown prince, Ma Baoer, was released early by Kangxi.

After Yinreng was released from prison early, he went to the Qianqing Palace immediately.

He took the initiative to apologize to the emperor and said that he had only cared about his brotherly relationship with the third brother and ignored his disrespect to Concubine Min, and that his feelings for his father had never changed.

These days, Kangxi has told his grandson many stories about filial piety in ancient times, and he feels in his heart that he had misunderstood Ma Baoer before.

Ma Baoer is still the filial Ma Baoer, and the one that Ma Zi loves the most.

Although he was the emperor and could not be said to have done anything wrong, he did feel that his Ma Baoer had been wronged.

Therefore, he directly bestowed a large amount of rewards on Yuqing Palace on the grounds that the emperor's grandson Caiyi was very filial to his parents.

Let everyone realize the enduring prosperity of Yuqing Palace.

Yinreng took this opportunity to test Liang Jiugong.

He also knew that after they came out that day, Khan Ama read the content of the "Analects of Confucius" on politics for a long time.

Yinreng remained expressionless on the surface, but a huge wave of emotions was stirring in his heart.

The first sentence of the "Analects" chapter on politics is:

Confucius said: To govern with virtue is like the North Star which remains in its place and all the other stars revolve around it.

Confucius said: "When a monarch governs with moral education, he will be like the North Star, which stays in a fixed position and all the other stars revolve around it."

In the chapter "Governing", there are several sentences about "filial piety", which seems to have little to do with "governing".

But in the "Governing" chapter, Confucius also gave an answer.

Someone asked Confucius, "Why don't you take part in government?"

(Someone asked Confucius: "Why don't you get involved in politics?")

The Master said, "The Book of Documents says: 'Filial piety!' Only filial piety and friendship towards brothers, and benevolence towards those in power, is this also governing. Why is it called governing?"

Confucius replied, "The Book of Documents says: 'Filial piety means respecting one's parents and loving one's brothers.' Applying this principle of filial piety and brotherly love to politics is also participating in politics. Why does one have to be an official to participate in politics?"

Therefore, what Confucius meant was that promoting filial piety is governing the country.

Thinking of what Liang Jiugong had just revealed in his voice, Khan Ama paid special attention to the "Analects of Confucius" chapter on politics, and even pondered it carefully.

Yinreng, who was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics and history books, knew very well that filial piety had been used to govern the world since ancient times, and Khan Ama now regarded this as a guiding principle.

The current Empress Dowager is extremely filial to her biological mother.

Moreover, that day he repeatedly brought up the issue of filial piety in front of his brothers, saying that the third brother was unfilial and suspected that they were the same as the third brother.

This made Yinreng think deeply.

Is Khan Ama trying to use filial piety to restrain us? Or is there some other purpose?

.........

After that day, the court and the harem remained peaceful for a long time.

However, the previous dynasty had many filial sons and grandchildren, and stories of elders loving their younger generations and being filial to them became known. The Emperor even praised several officials in the court.

Among them are the Crown Princess’ two uncles from her mother’s family, Fuca Maska and Fuca Maqi.

The emperor praised the Fucha family for their excellent family traditions. Although Madam Fucha was the stepmother of Maska and Maqi, she was very kind to the brothers born to the previous wife. Maska and Maqi were extremely filial to their stepmother.

Not only was he filial to his elders, he also took good care of his stepmother's younger brother, and even left the title left by his father to his youngest brother Li Rongbao.

From this we can see that the family style of the Fucha family can be said to be a model for all ministers!

Only ministers with good family traditions and filial piety to their parents and elders are the most beloved and trustworthy of the emperor.

Kangxi even bestowed a plaque on the Fucha family.
